Change The Voting Age

Another reason I think the voting age should not change is because 16 year olds are not as

It is important to vote because. We can change the usa. So we can have different presidents.

If the government allowed sixteen-year-olds to vote, they would build in them the habit of going out in elections at a young age. Eventually, that will result in increasing the overall voter turnout as the population ages. Middle adolescents would go out and practise their right out of habit. Consequently, the country will be more democratic. Moreover, politicians will care more about middle adolescents knowing that their voices count. Therefore, better services and advanced programs as well as critical wise decisions will take place creating a better environment for them. Overall, getting sixteen-year-olds into the habit of voting will definitely turn the table.

Jose Marti once said, “The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well.” Although many do not realize it, placing a vote for someone is a significant action, as Marti points out. One vote does make a difference, and who is elected has an influence over an innumerable amount of things. This is why

It is seen throughout America’s history, where people have fought for their rights, and have made it their responsibility to make sure they are guaranteed their natural rights. One right in particular, that both women and African Americans struggled to fight for, was the the right to vote. This has become a huge part of what it means to be an American citizen. It helps to empower the people aside from the government, giving them the opportunity to choose who they want as their representatives that make the laws they abide

By voting you are telling the president that you want him/her, and that you accept him or her in your life, and it will

If the people who are affected by elections didn’t vote there would be so many problems. People would be upset about results but they didn’t chose to do anything about it. You don’t have to agree completely with the person

Imagine, a world where the young people had a voice in American politics! Probably, a scary thought to some adults. However, what if young people did have a voice, in American politics. In this case, the right to vote. The right to vote has been in an issue, in our culture for years. From people being the opposite sex, to people of a different skin tone. The right to vote has always been the issue, of who could vote. The voting age in America is 18, but the question is, should it be lowered to 15. I do agree the voting age should be lowered to 15. The right to vote is an important right, it would promote political participation and there are no wrong votes.

Recently, there was an article about decreasing the voting age by 2 years. Lowering the voting age to 16 would be a mistake for maturaty reasons.

In my opinion, I do not believe they should lower the voting age to 16. I feel this way, because I do not think at the age of 16 they truly understand how politics works.I am gonna be 39 and I still do not understand how it all works. Like the artical states,according to U.S. Cenus Bureau report,"only 38% of voters in the 18 - 24 age group voted in 2012". I do not believe those numbers will increase by allowing 16 year olds to vote.I also agree with the artical, "that we should not add the least engaged part of our population to the electorate".

I'm going to start with the disussion of "keeping the Voting Age at 18". In my opinion, this point-of-view is the one I am agreeing more with. In the passage, it states that the

I believe that the voting age being lowered to 16 could possibly be a good idea, if the people are educated about what/who they're voting for. In the second passage it states, "America ranks at the bottom of developed naitions in turnout; with a voter turnout of 38%". This in itself is a problem. The first passage suggests that we could fix this by allowing people to vote from home or use Mobile voting booths. While the second passage says we should lower the legal voting age to 16. As I stated above, I believe lowering the voting age could possibly be beneficial if we could educate the youth about what they're voting for and get them more interested in voting. The first passage indicates that, "In 2012, 62% of eligible voters participated".

Why My Vote Matters Many might believe that voting in an election is quite useless and that their measly vote isn’t counted. Many factors together, have shown that it is wrong and that every vote matters. My vote matters because as a basic right of citizenship, we are obligated to vote during elections. Another factor that contributes to why my vote matters is that it can determine who will represent my beliefs in the government.

Voting, the chance for an able American to voice their opinion. To some people voting can be a rite of passage. This is a chance when 17 year olds turning 18 can explore their freedoms and privileges. Voting is not only a privilege, it is a right. This is a right many countries hold. It is one of the many rights that countries take for granted.

Voting is important it gives people the opportunity to voice their opinion and vote for what
